Designers have begun to tackle the erosion of our rights. Gabriel Lam has created Miranda, a wearable black box-like arrest documentation device that records video, audio, motion, impact, location, and other data and streams it over cell phone networks to third party observers such as the ACLU. By creating a visual, aural, and data snapshot of an arrest, it can provide evidence of police brutality (or stop it before it happens), or can prove that officers conducted themselves properly.
